The farm I own is a former tobacco farm. I was able to convert two of the old tobacco barns into storage and a shop, including the old "stripping" room. We replaced another large tobacco barn in rough shape with a stable.
My wife grew up on a tobacco farm across the peninsula and we were NOT going to get involved with tobacco in any way shape or form.
As MRM and others ave mentioned, tobacco farming, based on my wife's description since I never had the pleasure, is evidentially touch labor to 10th degree, nasty touch labor in the field, stripping it, hanging it and packing it for sale.
It was very profitable in this area, however.
